I did a photo shoot for the restaurant i worked out, this is their custom wine, and the restaurant is for sailors, hence the boat.
The really cool part is that it isn't photoshopped at all.

Another take on the wine glass, again no photoshop, and no, i'm not a raging alcoholic :)
Very creative shot of that glass, Chava. Good job. :thumbs_up
/Claes
Yay Sleepy, for doing the right thing! You rock! :thumbs_up And the pictures were really sweeeeeet!
Yes, Chava, I totally agree with Claes. You did a wonderful job of capturing that photo! :)
I was walking by the busy road with my camera and I caught this guy
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/IMG_0267.jpg
Haha, I know that guy, and the street i believe is Strøget...in central Cph? It's going to be fun to show you around :)
You know him?
Yes, I was walking around Strøget yesterday, taking pictures of building, people in skating ring, and that guy. :D
O yea, you should be a good host and show me around..:D :D
Well, not personally, but i've seen him several times. Small city really, you get to meet people like that. There is also a very handsome man handing out newspapers that i 'know' you just start to recognise familiar faces after a while, and they recognise you :)
I'll show you around. Time to get you off strøget and into the more interesting districts!
Wow, wonder how that guy would be received out my way? But dressed all in white like that, he might get trampled because everything is snowy white here... :lol: (sorry, cheap laughs). But anyhow, how intriguing, and I do wonder what he is all about? Have fun, subterranean on your tour with Chava! :)
Haha, well basically Kiz, he just stands there, then you put money in his box and he "turns to life", you don't get those accross the ocean?! they're every where here, in all varieties! Maybe it's a european thing...
Now you have me wondering! I have never seen nor heard anything like that! We have street musicians that pass the hat, and we have guys who are called the SQUEEGIES (they clean the car windshield at the stop light, so you are basically trapped!), and this kind of thing. But someone all in white (or whatever colour), no. Not yet.... ;)
haha, tell you what, when Sub and i meet up, we'll find him (or another one) and we'll drop a coin and have him pose? Man... crazy as a dane gains new meaning every day :)
Was walking around town on sat evening and decied to take a few snaps with my phone so here they are. I want to take some more.

This thread is so hard to keep up with!
jon1jt, I really like that picture of the leaves changing color in Vermont.
Lily Adams, I agree that the ocean is too cold to swim in; it's sure fun to watch the surfers, though!
SleepyWitch, you are very kind to keep that mouse from harm. There was a mouse / rat that kept visiting my office once, and we just used an old fashioned mouse trap, as well as the sticky mouse traps. One day, we found a tail in the drawer it was raiding -- that was the last sign we ever saw of it.
Chava, the sailboat reflection in the wine glass was very clever.
subterranean, that guy reminds me of the robot-people that are all over the touristy streets of San Francisco -- they move like robots and nowadays they cover themselves with metallic paint.
Niamh, that little girl by the nativity scene is adorable!
Niamh, I finally found the pictures you promised. I am glad I suggested them to you. They are wonderful! Dublin looks like a fascinating city. I liked the lights, but I really love the street market. Wow, that must be fun to go shopping there or browsing, whichever is your preference. That little girl is adorable.
That street performer is interesting, Sub, dressed all in white. I think you might see someone like that in NYC - anything can happen there - at least that is my experience in the city.
Great photos, Niamh. I can shoot photos with my camera, but I don't know how to get them onto the computer.... **sigh**. One day, right?
Anyhow, here are three pictures the depict winter in the Prairies, hope you like 'em:

^^ That crazy bench again, but I can't help taking pics of it... ^^

^^ A field near my place after the first real snowfall ^^

^^ My backyard (took this photo this morning) -- yay one hour photo!! ^^
Beautiful! It's like you're walking in a winter wonderland.
that's amazing, kiz! beautiful pictures!

this was taken in my mother's farm :D

same place, but my mother is there :p

Well those pics of snow and sun really do go from one extreme to another! both are beautiful pics!
Those are beautiful pictures, mmanuelap, the raindrops one is totally awesome! :)
:blush: thank you! :) it is one of my favouritesQuote:

:lol: Nice pictures Kiz, although you don't seem to have all that much snow in your backyard :p , lots of tree cover perhaps? Oh....Manitoba, what a great crummy province we are :D .
:P LOL what a great crummy province...Gotta find the beauty in it somewhere. Cool pics Kizz
Have fun on your trip, Idril (and yes -- take lots of photos!)
Lily -- for sure save the pics, I don't mind! The third one is actually my desktop right now.
TEND, crummy? Not! Gotta love it for all the reasons that I blog about and more... (although the summer mosquitoes can take a hike any time) ;)
Thanks, B (and loved the pun "cool" pics...) :lol:
I also said it was great! See it didn't come across properly, it's great and crummy, it's good and bad, I think that most Manitobans love and hate the place (especially in Winnipeg). It's a wonderful place to live, but I feel we're very self-depreciative.Quote:

We know all about that tendency here in ND as well. ;) There are many things I love about this place but I still feel the need to apologize for living here. :lol:Quote:

Niamh, wonderful! More Dublin photos....I love them....I love that statue of James Joyce - how interesting; must be neat to sit in that cafe and drink tea and see Joyce, right outside the window.
Thanks again for posting such great photos. I must show these to my son, he went to Ireland a number of years back.
I finally got out of the cabin to get some pictures (it's been freakishly cold here the last couple of days). These were taken in a valley called the Knife River Valley that is about 5 or 6 miles from where my parents live. My dad and I took a drive and brought our cameras, some of these pictures were taken by my dad and some by me.
This one is mine. It's still quite cold, only about 7 degrees F when we took the pictures and there was a very light, fluffy snow. The effect on the trees was quite stunning, especially with the sun as the back lighting.

My dad took this picture. It's was taken in the same area, just a different perspective. I love the bend in the road, it gives a nice frame to the picture.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...l/DSC_0018.jpg
This is another one of my dad's. I love the barbwire in that picture, I'm not sure why though. :p
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...l/DSC_0014.jpg
There's nothing I love more than shots of the prairie, this one is mine.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...l/P1040158.jpg
This one is mine as well. Second only to pictures of the prairie, I love these old abandoned houses and to get both the snow and frost tipped prairie grass and the house in the same shot is heaven. :D

You caught the light well there Idril. I particularly like the last picture. :thumbs_up
/Claes
Great pictures Niamh and Idrill. :) That's how I picture Dublin and North Dakota.
lovely pictures, idrill! (:
Lovely pictures indeed!! Gorgeous, belike!!
BTW, Idril, I finished "Morgoth's Ring" some months ago.
It is now a favorite book of mine. :D :nod:
Great pictures, Niamh! That replica guy of the statue of Joyce .... wow! Awesome! :thumbs_up
Idril, your photos are very well thought out. Each one has a special beauty. I know what you are saying about that barbwire -- I have a few pics of it too, but why? Well, why not! :p My favorite is the last one, too.
Very interesting pictures!
I have also liked that of house the best. It gives a very neat look. And Dublin looks nice, Niamh! :)
great pics, Idril, I can't decide which one I like best, the first, the one with the barbwire or the last one ???
